Fight breaks out between Minnesota and Golden State!

[lxlHoTsAuSelxl]

Draymond when he saw a opportunity, "It's my time to shine!!!"......LOL! Dude is a douchebag but when you think about it, guy is hilarious too.

Sending Jordan Poole to another dimension. Busting out the Seth Rollins 'curb stomp'. Put the sleeper on Gobert, "If your sleepy and you know it go to bed". Dude is too much haha.

[Xiao Yao You]

They weren't winning WITH Gobert either

They were a first round exit team the majority of the years

2 1st round upsets vs one when they were the higher seed. I actually thought we'd hit a milestone. :cry:

mods sticky plz

what does it matter if they put a better team on the floor and they are more enjoyable to watch with players I like? If The Bum wasn't playing the Jazz aren't going anywhere this year but I would certainly enjoy watching them more. You're the only person I've heard give Boozer the credit for getting them anywhere though. That shit is hilarious! :roll:


As a person who watches a 35/14/5 game seven win and says the guy shouldn’t have been playing you clearly have an alternate reality so I wouldn’t expect you to be aware of things that happened in the real world.

That’s secondary though. I think this is at the heart of my issue with your evaluations:

You can acknowledge that the changes you pine for will be of no real consequence but still advocate for them being made. Claim they “should” be made. But things that don’t matter…really don’t have much justification. If you would just say “I’d like to see….” a lot of your weird takes would be more sensible.

It’s just about what you do and do not like. None of the shit you’re talking about(building around Rudy, playing Paul not Boozer, getting rid of Clarkson) would/would have resulted in anything of note. You just….want it.

It’s reasonable to want to watch a team you like. It’s unreasonable to claim things “should” be done when they are likely to result in nothing.

Only in your brain is being early round fodder is as an accomplishment when you have 2 other all stars by your side :facepalm

now it's just likely? make up your mind. :facepalm

as we know by a guy like Mitchell being an all star for 3 straight years while being a net negative on the floor all 3 years that being an all-star doesn't really mean a whole lot. Early round fodder > the lottery. As a Nets fan you should know that even better than I :lol

You realize Rudy Gobert has been a "net negative" the past two seasons at Minnesota

[Kblaze8855]

now it's just likely? make up your mind. :facepalm

You really have a profound lack of substance when asked direct questions you would have trouble with. There’s obviously nothing to be gained here. You enjoy your day.

[Xiao Yao You]

now the stat has meaning? At least I'm consistent

[Manny98]

now the stat has meaning? At least I'm consistent

What? You just used the stat to create a narrative that Mitchell is undeserving of being a all star but that same stats points towards Gobert being a net negative for Timberwolves and that they're better when he's off the floor

You can't just pick and choose when stats should and shouldn't apply

Gobert wasn't an all star :facepalm

Again your dodging the main point

You can't use Mitchell being a net negative to try and create an argument that he's not as good people think he is and then completely ignore that same stats when it's applied to a player that you like because it doesn't fit your agenda

[Xiao Yao You]

what agenda? Gobert as the 3rd best player in Jazz history? Whatever he does in Minnesota has nothing to do with that

Even if both of them aren't on the same team anymore, two things about him remain. That he's still bitter about the former while still being attached to the latter.

More deflecting *rolls eyes*

not as attached as you guys are to me :facepalm

He's bitter that most people looked at Mitchell as the best player on the Jazz and that he's at best the third best player on the Timberwolves based on his own logic regarding player impact

[Xiao Yao You]

if it hasn't been obvious to you yet I don't much care what others think. Being an inefficient gunner that doesn't pass or defend isn't better than the guy carrying the team at both ends. Why were they so bad when Gobert was off the floor and yet better if Mitchell was off the floor than on it?

[Manny98]

You have 91 posts in this thread alone and spam the same shit about Rudy in every single thread

sorry I don't have all those fresh takes like you do. Rudy sucks. McDaniel for DPOTY...:lol

1. The Jazz had a 8-2 record without Rudy in 2022

2. Why are the Wolves better with Rudy off the floor this year

[Manny98]

I never once said Rudy sucks, I just don't think he's a two way player

Correct. After mitchell went to the cavs, he led them to 51 wins in the rs this year while the wolves only won 42 games in toody's first season with them (down from 46 in 2022).

Manny with his 10 game stretch. Me with many seasons :cheers:

since Manny won't answer tell us why the Jazz were a negative when Mitchell was on the floor?

Maybe a certain cumbersome big became a hindrance to the spacing they had bt?

[Xiao Yao You]

Gobert and Conley minutes were staggered so they often weren't on the court with Mitchell so the cumbersome big was a troll favorite like Hassan or Monroe. Try again!

[Manny98]

The same reason why the the Timberwolves are a negative with Gobert on the floor the past two seasons

[Xiao Yao You]

The same reason why the the Timberwolves are a negative with Gobert on the floor the past two seasons

and why is that? because Mitchell was just a role player and the team revolved around Gobert?

[Manny98]

Yep a 3 time all star who lead his team in scoring and assist is clearly just a easily expendable role player

when the team is worse with you on the floor than off something is wrong

Like the Timberwolves this year with Rudy maybe they should trade the bum since he is the only net negative in the starting lineup

[Xiao Yao You]

Like the Timberwolves this year with Rudy

Rudy's not an all star. Apparently he's not even as good as Towns, McDaniel or Reid. What was Mitchell's excuse other than Gobert and Conley not carrying his overrated ass?

[Manny98]

He's not as good as Towns and McDaniels this year based on your own perception of on/stats

[eliteballer]

It's too bad we never got to see Green try something with prime Zach Randolph.

I could see him using his basketball card as ID like Zach
